Aeon Nox 3.0: Movie Extras/Bonus Features - How to add them to your setup.

XBMC only supports associating movies with a TV Series; we can't associate a movie with a specific season.

Unfortunately, as we are using the system in a non-conventional way, we are limited in what we can do. For example, I would love to be able to jump from a movie in the Movies library to the associated TV Series (so we can jump from a movie to its extras), but that's not yet possible. Hopefully, someday, movie extras will be officially supported in some capacity.

As Kaburke already stated not possible ATM but if enough interest is generated, over time we might get a bit more support for Bonus Features from the devs. Movie sets were eventually integrated into XBMC, so you never know.......

Yeah, I figured that it wasn't possible, but this may be a good thread for brainstorming, too! I like kaburke's idea of jumping from the movie to the extras too.

Can right-click menu items be added via scripts or skins? If so, it should be simple enough to add a "Go to extras" item.

yes, possible.

Which is possible? Adding via scripts, or adding via skins? Or both?

via skin.

Agreed, this thread is as good a place as any

I'm liking your idea about linking from movies. An idea I would also like to see is being able to link to soundtracks, a pipe dream for now though.

Thanks for the info.

I took a quick look at the Nox skin, but being completely unfamiliar with skinning I didn't immediately see where to extend the videos' context menu. I'm going to read up about XBMC skinning, and then I will take another look. The documentation seems somewhat limited, so this may take me a little while

Going forward, this may be something that we can resquest be added to the Nox skin (if it hasn't been request already).

[edit]
Linking to soundtracks would be cool, too (a random track from the soundtrack could be played as the tv tune?). It seems, however, that would required a change to XBMC itself to support such relationships. Given my newness to add-ons, and XBMC in general, it's not clear if the library can be extended sufficiently using add-ons to accomplish this.

no, something like this won´t become part of the skin unless it is better supported by xbmc itself or and offiial add-on.
to give you a hint, you´ll have to add a button to controlgroup 996 in dialogcontextmenu.xml (same button style as the include "ActorMetaDataContextButton" in includes.xml)
